Hi there all,

I finally got my Easy sport plane its 60 size. A friend of mine had it made from a senior plane manufacturing guy. This is beautiful plane with black, white & red color scheme, sooner Im going to post the pictures of it. Im going to take a maiden flight of this plane coming sunday, hope it's gonna fly well. I've installed HB's .61 Engine which is a german screaming powerplant, 3 HS311 Hitec standard servos, 1 JR's servo on aileron. Hitec's electron 6 Dual conversion Rx. Wing is long and more than a foot wide. Im gonna measure it and post it exact it's specification. Im gonna post it about my first maiden flight this sunday.

Now the question is, Is this a good second plane? a flyer like me who has been confidently flying high winger for the last 15 months. Second question this plane can do all maneuvers & aerobatics one can expect like snap roll, knife edges, torque roll? It's 60 size big plane and I hope it would be stable. I would like to have your opinions about this.
This plane can be said like Ultra stick, superstick or Twister of Hangar 9?

Thanks in advance

Mody

Absolutely! Gentle flyer, low speed landings. It just lacks the self correction characteristics of a trainer. Lots of fun to fly too.

Thanks Robbidos,

As it's 60 size, so it would be more fun to fly? As it doesnt do self-corrections, can it be taken as negative point or pilot has to be more careful?

This is an excellent 2nd plane. I've had quite a few students move up to the Easy Sport after their trainer. You'll do well with it.

You're comparing the Easy Sport 60 to the Twist 60 by Hangar 9?

The Easy Sport is a good second plane and will do most of the manuevers discussed but there is no way it is as agile as the Twist. They simply are not designed for the same type of flying.
Here is one review of the plane

The Easy Sport is a great second aircraft that will slow down and land like a trainer, but is very aerobatic. They typically have a good deal of elevator authority. They will do snap rolls and they are excellent at Cuban Eights and most any manuver requiring inverted flight.

How well your particular Easy Sport will fly knife edge will depend on how the rudder was originally built. The plane will tend to couple toward the wing, but you can mix some of that out if you fly it with a computer radio.

Overall, the Easy Sport is very aptly named. It's a great first sport plane and one that is a lot of fun to fly.

And it will not do 3-D maneuvers (Like a torque roll) very well - if at all

It's just not designed for 3-D

But other than that, It's a GREAT second airplane

Thanks alot for your precious advices and tips, this is really I wanted, well, Im gonna do my first maiden flight this sunday, can't wait for it. I will keep you informed about it.

Wish me Luck

Mody
